What is Nicotine used for?

Nicotine acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to facilitate smoking cessation.

- Smoking cessation: reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings, helping adults quit tobacco use. - Nicotine dependence: supports gradual reduction of nicotine intake in individuals attempting to stop smoking. - Tobacco use disorder: assists in managing cravings and improving abstinence rates during cessation programs.

What precautions apply to Nicotine?

When prescribing nicotine for smoking cessation, several safety considerations should be observed.

- Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate patients with recent myocardial infarction or uncontrolled hypertension before use. - Pregnancy and lactation: avoid unless benefits outweigh potential risks, as safety data are limited. - Hypersensitivity: discontinue if signs of allergic reaction appear. - Psychiatric conditions: monitor for worsening anxiety or depression during therapy. - Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
